The staff here are incredible. Genuinely some of the kindest, positive and lovely waitstaff I have met! They made our dining experience so enjoyable. The food was lovely, a great selection is available. The restaurant is delightful, the inside is done-up nicely and the music added a lovely atmosphere. I hope to be back :)
Booked here last minute on 10/09/25. Restaurant was relatively quiet being earlier in the week. I had the spicy lamb kofta to start and mixed grill for 1. Both dishes were superb. Grilled perfectly and full of flavour. Wife ordered rib eye steak but the chef wasn't happy with the size of the ribeye and an alternate option of sirloin was offered. Wife wasn't disappointed, it was excellent. Overall, highly recommend this place for authentic, delicious Greek food. Very friendly helpful staff too. I'll be back.
Enjoyed sampling a selection of dishes at the Taverna tonight - particularly liked the Garides Sagganaki (prawn in tomato sauce) and the lamb kofte hot starters. The lamb souvlaki was a bit on the tough side. For dessert we shared the orange pie which is very rich. We were served quickly and very efficiently-the restaurant is welcoming and the staff are pleasant. We felt it was tasty food in decent portions and value for money.
Went here for tea. As you walk in, you are greeted by a friendly member of the team, and it gets better from there. All the staff are great and welcoming. Food is amazing with great choices of greek cuisine and a great atmosphere. Would be wise to book, as although not over busy when we went, i imagine it can be.
Absolutely fantastic, food was outstanding, service was excellent, was really busy but didn't wait long for food at all.. would highly recommend.
